CURV BRIDAL COLLECTION FROM ELBETH GILLIS
We love a new bridal collection. With the new buzzword in fashion being inclusivity, the inspiration behind the new Curv Bridal Collection by Elbeth Gillis was born. Curv is a collection of 5 dresses which have been carefully designed with the curvier figure in mind.
Curv is the first inclusive bridal collection from the Elbeth Gillis 2022 bridal capsule. The dresses within the collection reinforce Elbeth’s dedication to designing the perfect shapes for bridal gowns, ranging from simple structures with crisp, clean lines to romantic, lavish lace. These impeccably shaped gowns show off women’s curves and accentuates the bride’s beauty and glow on her wedding day.
The collection also includes some sensational sleeves, timeless collars, beautiful bows and overskirts. These can be added to classic styles so that brides can put their own stamp on the dresses, allowing everyone to embrace uniqueness and difference.
Here you can see the Jessica gown, then with the addition of sleeves. This allows all Brides to create their very own perfect dream dress.
Background
Founded in 1997, Elbeth Gillis is internationally known for her bridal and evening couture. As a young girl, Elbeth was surrounded by the beauty of fabrics, inspired by the magic that took place as her aunts and mother brought beauty and grace to the garments they sewed. By the age of 12, Elbeth knew she was destined to study fashion. Now, over 20 years later and the head of her world-class brand, the reputation of this wedding dress designer is a testament to her ability to create the perfect garment. Brides looking for something different will fall in love with Elbeth’s enduring, Audrey Hepburn-like design aesthetic.
